Compost amendments up to one inch restore dry rangeland soil health

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rangelands harbor immense diversity and provide ecosystem services across vast swaths of land while supporting rural economies and the food system, but degraded rangelands may require active management to restore diversity and function. We added varying amounts of compost to understand if there are linear or saturating effects on vegetation and soil ...

Bridging biodiversity and ecosystem services through useful plant species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global change endangers the terrestrial vegetation that sustains us. Therefore, policymakers need to make informed decisions about what and where to protect. However, with limited resources, we must decide whether to protect the intrinsic value of plants or their value to humans. Protecting both is possible.

A Conservation Assessment and Phylogenomic Evaluation of Protection Status in the Tropical Genus Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with

Plant species diversity and abundance of functional groups influence net nitrogen mineralization along productivity gradients in montane Calluna‐dominated heathlands

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Heathlands are globally important ecosystems that provide key functions and services but are increasingly threatened by land use changes. We investigated how plant diversity and productivity influence nitrogen cycling under different management regimes.
